      Dear Team

      I have opened a project and I am trying to hide some columns and add some columns into the resource usage window. After I close the project and reopen the application these updated interface is not retained. It is switching back to the default columns. Is there a way to retain the newly added columns ?

      You can create custom field and also set what we call Field Lists. In each view under Configuration you can select which “Field List” is associated with your view. The Field list in the spreadsheets is the list of columns and their order.

      Thank you for your response. I am using 1.9.1 version of the software. I am unable to find configurations. Where can I find it ? I could not understand where to find this field list you are talking about. Please suggest.

        That answer was for the Cloud version where the Browser spreadsheet is set with the field list. In the desktop version you can right click on a column and add a field… or we have default field lists if you right click on the top right box where the columns and rows come togehter… you can then switch spreadsheet settings

      When I add columns to task usage and resource usage views those columns are not saving. Once I open the file again they do not appear as they did when I saved the file. How do I save the columns permanently?

        I know how to add the columns but when I save the project those columns I added don’t appear when I reopen the file. I can’t find the default field list either.

        This video might explain better.

      That is a bug on the desktop version…. I just sent a note through to the team It works fine on the Cloud version but that has a different code base.

        Is it possible to generate a pdf file of the task usage and resource usage views? The same way you can generate a pdf of the Gantt Chart? When I try to click the pdf/preview button while I’m in those views it doesn’t generate a pdf. I need to show my professor my ability to add the cost columns to task usage and resource usage views.
